Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast is navigating significant challenges as declining sales and a narrow product range test its growth. The company is also embroiled in a legal dispute with North Carolina, where officials are seeking to reclaim a factory site, adding financial and operational pressure. With competition intensifying in the global EV market, VinFast’s ability to stabilize its business and expand its offerings will be closely watched. The situation raises questions about the sustainability of its overseas expansion strategy.


The Vietnamese EV maker faces headwinds amid sliding sales, a limited lineup and a lawsuit by North Carolina to claw back a factory site.
